Thank you all so much for the honour, I know it really isn't deserved. I am in no way as accomplished a commentator as some others who reside on this board.

Thank you, loki for the recognition, and thank you so much for your wonderful work in the AGEOD forum. It is refreshing to see an AAR by someone who is willing to slowly and painfully lose the seven years war, and let us in on each minor victory and crushing defeat. If only I weren't married, I'd have already bought the game and would be right along with you cursing inactive Austrian generals who'se only goal is drinking, and inept French generals, whose seem to have a contest as to which general can get away with not paying their troops for the longest.

If any of you haven't read Loki's AAR, head on over and prepare yourself for an excellent ride.

All that said, I will nominate a more deserving comentatAAR than myself shortly (hopefully today!).

For his unabashedly anachronistic commentary in Attack77's interactive Britain. While his acerbic wit has primarily been directed against my own beloved National Conservatives...he has demonstrated a remarkable skill of being both true to the time period, and true to the Paradox principles of helpful and non-offensive AAR comments. This is a rare skill, and it deserves to be rewarded.

There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below. The democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests up on them.- William Jennings Bryan (1896)

The Republic of Man, an alternate U.S. where Jefferson and Paine's ideas held more sway early on.

Sorry for the delay, I was dasbooted from the internet over memorial day and hence.

The Fan of the Week this week is... WelshDude, for his participation in BBB's The Presidents. After decades of Whiggery, Welshdude defeated my beloved party to bring the Democrats back to the White House.
